📋 About This Mod
If you have a weak graphics card or abysmal frame rates, look no further! This mod aims to replace every texture in the game with ridiculously tiny versions, giving you the best possible performance. Download the main file, and the optional NPC file if you don't mind creepy faces.
Wrye Bash (Smash) compatible! No need to rearrange the file structure!
To fix the tree LODs looking like rectangles, navigate to Data/textures/terrain/tamriel/trees and remove tamrieltreelod.dds
